I like dresses & babydoll nighties, my new wife prefers pants & PJs. Shouldn't a woman give in to her husbands

Question

preferences once they are married?

Answer 1

Well, a nice comrpomise would be dresses and babydoll nighties during s*x, pants and Pjs when going out/sleeping

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

If you want her to dress as you desire, you'd best be prepared to dress as she desires.

There's zero reason a woman should "give in" to her husband's preferences after marriage, as there is zero reason a man should give in to his wife's...if you didn't like how she dressed or behaved before saying "I do", ya shouldn't have done it. ☺

A certain amount of compromise is fine, but you're just trying to incite folks...

Answer 4

ha ha...I am a wife who likes the pants and pjs, but I do wear the dresses and pjs for my husband quite often. I think it's give and take with everything in marriage. One of us can't just have our way all the time.

Answer 5

No a think it should be 50/50.  Back off and maybe she'll come around.

Answer 6

No she is able to do whatever she wants.

Answer 7

No.  However if she wishes to dress in these things as a favor to you, that would be fine.

Answer 8

Of course she shouldn't give in to her husband's preferences, and neither should he give in to any of his wife's preferences.

The secret to a long happy marriage is to do only what you want and ignore what your spouse wants.

Answer 9

If this is that important, you should have discussed it before you married.  No, a wife shouldn't completely give in to her husband after they are married.  This isn't the Victorian Era.  You don't own your wife.  She is not a slave.

Instead or ordering her around, why don't you ask her nicely to wear a dress for you or a baby doll nightie every once in a while.  Buy her one that you like, and I bet she will, if you ask nicely.

Answer 10

Wear what you like.

What is a babydoll nightie?

Answer 11

Err...no a woman doesn't have to give in to anyone's demands married or not. But I shouldn't bother answering because obviously this question is a waste of 5 points and a joke. Stuff like this doesn't happen in US households in 2008.

Answer 12

Well Jeff just maybe she has nothing else to wear if your are skipping around in her clothes. Try buying matching sets of the things you both agree on.

Answer 13

both members of the couple should compromise.

Answer 14

No they should compromise.  Did you not know that your wife preferred pants and pj's to dresses and babydolls before you married her?  If you did then why did you think marrying her would change that?  Would you want her to think that marrying you was going to change you?

Answer 15

Nope.

It's not the era where women have no free will.

Answer 16

Why? she became your wife not your servant.  Why did you marry her and not  a woman who prefers to wear dresses etc.

If you think that by marrying you your wife should now become subservient to you I recon you will add to the statistics of divorces real soon.

If you ask your wife to sometimes wear clothes to please you she might be pleased to do so, if you tell her that because she is your wife she should start to do and wear what you say your marriage is probably doomed

Answer 17

Depends, do you give in to hers?? If yes, then yes. If not, take the first step and do something she likes that you are not fond of, and see if she'll reciprocate.

Answer 18

I think people should accomodate each other's desires as much as possible.  I personally do not care for wearing dresses much, but I do wear them in warm weather, and I always wear the kind of underwear my husband prefers.  We don't normally wear anything in bed, but if he wanted me to wear a babydoll I would.

I think it is a pity your wife won't accomodate your desires, especially in bed, but if you already knew her clothing preferences before you married her then you might have guessed that these were probably not going to change once you married.

Possibly you could try asking her if there is anything you could do for her that she would find particularly s**y?  I like doing things for my husband that turn him on because he has always been happy to accomodate my desires, and I think it should be a mutual thing.

Answer 19

Married people should try to please each other whenever they can.

Answer 20

No. She should sleep in what makes her comfortable and able to sleep.

Maybe you could go find her a medium. Like a really comfy PJ dress. I got one and it's super comfy and my boyfriend likes it because it's feminine and the fact that it's a dress makes it kinda s**y.

Should your wife give in and wear stuff she doesn't want to just because you want her to look cute while she's sleeping? No, that's ridiculous. But can you try to help find a compromise and surprise her with it? Yes.

EDIT: Some insight - The reason why I wore pants and PJs and not dresses was because I got cold at night. If you do try to find her something cute, try to get something with sleeves, even if it's short or cap sleeved and a little longer, like to her knees or just above. Then she can be warm and comfy, but still s**y..

Answer 21

You can wear all the babydoll nighties you want.

Answer 22

Why don't you compromise? She could wear that stuff sometimes for you, when shes in the mood and you could then stop nagging her to wear certain things.

Answer 23

I think that depends on how much you paid for her....  If the dowry included livestock - yes you have a right to demand she dress to your preferences...
